If you two don't knock off the whoring in threads outside of the wasteland - you are both going to see some resulting action being taken that you probably won't like.

Enough is enough guys. People have had enough of it.

2001 V-spec 2 HKS cam gears , nismo twin plate clutch ,HKS front pipe , Veilside Titanium 3.5inch exhaust , Apexi power fc ,Apexi pod filters , HKS hypermax 2 coilovers, ACPT carbon drive shaft thats about it i think stock engine turbos and fuel system, it had 260awkw @ 15psi ran a 12.2 @116mph with stock rims with 245 tyres that were way past their use by date were as hard as a rock best 60ft time i could get was 1.98sec this was done at the townsville drag strip possibly the worst prepped track in australia

no offence and I debated with myself for a while before posting this( waits for some noob to edit quote that line), but it the way you are driving the car, I have an 11.13 @ 123 mph in my 32, and 11.8 @ 118mph in the 34 ( I have only dragged the 34 once on someone elses setup ) so a 122mph should be a mid 11, read the how to launch your GTR thread and practice

A mate ran a 12.3 @ 110 with his R34 vspec. Mods at the time were a twin plate exedy clutch, power fc, AVCR and a street tune to 1kg/cm boost. Estimated to be about 230kw atw. It was in the middle of summer and his tyres were shagged as well I believe.

this sounds impossible to be honest,

people are saying they just rev dumped first which i did and smacked every gear

i started the "how to launch your gtr" thread haha its good getting everyones opinions

Well its not. He was consistent and ran 12.3's repeatadly. I know his reaction times are always good too, and he is pretty brutal with the car.

I left out that he has an 80mm titanium exhaust on it too. At the time I'm pretty sure thats it for mods

I've read that 11's are possible on stock low mounts if your willing to lean on them to the point of breakage.

Turns out that it was 111mph too:

I thought side step and dumping were the same thing

Side steo being - you move your foot to the left of the clutch resulting in stepping off instantly

Dumping - you lift your foot straight off

Besides, all you guys averaging 1.9 60' times need to get a better launch. Should be getting 1.6 60'

This guy knows stuff!!!

And I keep telling people it's all in the first few seconds of getting outta the hole that will seperate you from that average time to that great time.

I'm .1 off a 1.6 :D

if i can hear correctly.. hes ranging from 12.3 to 12.7

i can see hes trying to side step instead of dumping which was causing smoke

In other runs last year he was doing 12.3 to 12.4.

The more recent youtube footage taken this year is slower due to problems with the car not running right. An intermittent ecu fault would make his tune go rich and drop ignition to cylinders occasionally.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
